Standing up

Can your LOs stand up without having to pull up on something first? My little boy can walk now.. but he has to crawl to somewhere to pull himself up first and then walk. He keeps trying and gets really frustrated bless him. Anything I can do to help him?

My little girl is exactly the same! Following

Yes she puts both feet on the floor, squats and then stands up. We helped her by giving her our hands and doing the hare minimum, letting her do all the work but have the confidence that we were “helping” she started doing it pretty much same time she started walking independently

We did lots of kneeling. So LO would use her vtech walker to press the buttons, but encouraged her to kneel rather than stand. Also, avoiding a W shape when she was kneeling.

My daughter puts her feet on the floor and squats up, or sometimes she rolls on her knees and stands up 1 foot at a time

My little boy was exactly the same when he first started walking. It took him a few weeks before he learned to get up himself 😊

@Bee thank you this is a good tip, I’ll try it ☺️

@Marissa yeah he’s trying to do it one foot at a time, but it looks hard bless him haha.

Yes our girl can’t stand up herself without something to hold onto just yet but is walking confidently x

Yes he can

Thanks everyone!
